Roasted curd cheese with red pepper is a homestyle Turkish dish made by heating çökelek, a tangy, crumbly fresh curd cheese, with red pepper. Roasting deepens the cheese’s savoury flavour, while the pepper brings gentle sweetness and warmth; the finished mixture is soft but still pleasantly grainy.
In Turkey, it is often served warm at breakfast with bread, or set out as a small meze. It also makes a filling topping for toast or flatbread. The dish is protein-rich, with 16.5 g per 100 g. For a lighter plate, use only a little cooking fat and pair it with fresh tomatoes, cucumber and herbs.
